Full Disclosure
This article kind of makes me laugh. But I have a sick sense of humor. In VA, when I bought my place, the owner was quite alive, but I did get a disclosures form where the seller could write down stuff like if my home had been the site of a death or crime scene, lest something like the Amityville Horror happen to me. I’m not sure how I’d feel though if I thought I was going to settlement and was handed a litany of incidents on the disclosure form. I’m not good with icky or gruesome.

I think the laws surrounding the sale of “psychologically stigmatized” homes are kind of funny, especially when they concern supposidely “haunted” homes. Our home is over 100 years old, and when we bought it I wondered if we’d hear that it was “haunted.” (Of course, here the majority of homes are over 100 years old, but I haven’t always lived in such an old state!) I don’t believe in ghosts–though I don’t NOT believe in them either–but I often wonder how I’d feel about being told that the house I was about to buy was haunted.
